Hi all,
First post here, as have just returned from a week overseas to find strange things going on.
I have a 10 meg connection and noticed all the issues with firware upgrades etc, but my issue is slightly different.
I am still on the ntlhm100_ntl0002.cpr firmware and am finding that although my connection starts off downloading at about 800K (the most I have ever got since upgrade) after about 30 or 60 minutes, it slows to about 8K until I reboot the modem. This affects all protocol transfers but ping ttm results to e.g. bbc show at about 15ms so not too shabby.
Does this suggest that the issues may not be purely firmware related but may be down to some of the network/ubr upgrades being performed at present.
Is it worth calling NTL to get an engineer out, or maybe upgrade to a 250 modem?
Cheers,
T.
